You know it’s a typical mom day when…
The kitchen sink decides to take a break, clogging up with water and food debris reaching halfway up. A kitchen without a sink is like a car without wheels! The next day, you come home to find a DIY project in progress, complete with a gallon of drain cleaner and a toilet plunger sharing space with the dirty dishes in the other half of the sink. The house smells like an over-chlorinated pool, and the water level is threatening to spill onto the counter. You find yourself Googling rental properties and contemplating house demolition.
Your child shares their choice of outfit for the first day of school. It reeks of regret, but your attempts to suggest alternatives only seem to amplify the smell.
Your children have taken it upon themselves to correct your grammar. Thanks, kiddos!
Your kids overhear your last scam call ever. You let loose a string of expletives that would make a sailor blush.
You crave some alone time in your car, blasting Eminem & Joyner’s “Lucky You.”
Dirty socks are everywhere!
The mudroom is living up to its name.
Dust bunnies are multiplying, toilets need scrubbing, and you’re prepping for a colonoscopy while shuttling kids to various camps.
The sink is finally unclogged, but not without casualties. A pipe was twisted too far and broke, causing a leak. Now the pipe needs replacing, and you’re still without a kitchen sink. The demolition team is scheduled for next Wednesday.
Your sister had you on speakerphone during your rant.
You’ve collected more scars from cooking than any other life event. Burn marks abound, and you’ve lost feeling in the tip of your left middle finger due to a dicing mishap.
On the bright side, takeaway food isn’t so bad!
You’re genuinely tired of driving around the suburbs.
What would you add to your mom day list?
